I was thinking some sort of expression where it was common to say “never makes a dud” made literal since it’s a bomb factory. All I could find along those lines is a reference to a shampoo brand (“Huron”).
Either that or some kind of commentary about how bombs suck and a “successful” bomb is a terrible thing so they hate him for always making a successful killing machine. But that doesn’t seem in line with the Far Side oeuvre.
I believe they hate him because he’s perfect, which is ironic since at at a bomb factory, you particularly don’t want duds.
Well alright that seems reasonable.

Usually Gary’s comics need to be enjoyed through the lens of boomer absurdism.
It’s not necessarily a bad thing, there’s literally just no deeper joke than “guy working at bomb factory never makes an error”
That would be a better caption 😂
